Graphics card is finally giving up - Need a reccomendation as to what to get next!
My good old Radeon HD 6850 has called it a day after years of service and it couldn't have come at a worse time. Im currently saving to travel around Australia and so my budget is pretty tight but there is no way im going without gaming for these last few months! My budget is around £60-85 so like $95-135. I am clueless when it comes to graphics cards and so here I am asking you guys to point me in the right direction. I usually use ebuyer for my hardware but if you guys know any cheaper alternatives im more than willing to listen!

Thanks in advance!

An MSI 260X is about the best you can get with that budget.


I've managed to get an ex-display model for £82. I did look at the guy below's response option but every UK seller's price was over £100. Thanks for your help guys. Should be here by Monday and I'll be able to play Evil Within!
